    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I am no expert, but check if this setting is enabled? My experience was like this: With pretty much default settings of WAP1 (I did updated from 200.13 to 200.15), I plugged in second wap and came back to system 10-15 minutes later. The new wap had joined and firmware was matching the first one.

    How do you check for neighbors? I assuming something on a client, linux/windows command?

    $20 - Ruckus R320 Unleashed Wi-Fi 5 - FS for Prime

    I posted this in another thread as well, but would be good to have here for future buyers too: A single r320 is no match for Asus RT-AC68U in terms of coverage, especially on 2.4Ghz. The ASUS is exponentially faster/better RSSI the longer the distance from them. Spent a day and half testing and...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    Kind of scared me for a moment that it is 2025 and we are still relaying on clients [only] to roam. Looks like 802.11k/v/r are now more broadly adopted, so should be what I am looking for. Thanks for your help! I am going to keep my RT-AC68U around, in case the 3x r320 endeavor doesn't work. I...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I already said that the Ruckus was sitting on the table with labels facing down (signal beaming up) on a semi-open floor below the testing area. This morning I moved it up to second floor and mounted on ceiling. One thing is 100% clear at this point: The RT-AC68U is destroying a single r320...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    Thanks, found it. So there are radio options at 3 different groups of menus (WiFi, AP, and Administration). I set 2.4ghz on max power. Unfortunately it still sucks, massively. And the r320 is on very clean channel 1, ASUS on more congested channel 6. Some observations (2.4ghz only, single AP)...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I don't even see settings for Tx on the Ruckus. In fact, I don't see any tweaking for the radio at all. Hopefully I am just tired.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    Both are on, but I am testing one at a time and there is no heavy traffic on existing ASUS network. Asus Ch6, 20mhz, Ruckus ch1, 20 mhz. I will be doing more tomorrow, but so far the difference is dramatic.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    The Wootman (Amazon delivery really) dropped them of today. I configured one and doing a basic test, placed next to my Asus RT-AC68 in the lower level of the house. The Ruckus is placed with labels down on a table (so it is beaming up) and I am on the second floor (semi open floor plan). Did...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    Thanks, yes, from Woot and I just pulled the trigger. I got POE+ Ethernet everywhere, wouldn't even cross my mind to do wireless mesh even if it was supported.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    How crazy would I be to buy new R320 at $20 a pop? I know they are EOL and only WiFi5 (mimo 2x2). Currently have Asus rt-ac68, which is like 10 years model, and has great 2.4ghz range, but I am starting to itch for better 5Ghz coverage (with multiple APs).

    SFP+ cards with ASPM support?

    I am looking at getting eBay x710-DA-2 to be used with 10G DAC cable (only utilizing 1 port). Anyone can comment on Dell vs Lenovo or other versions? Scalping the Internet I saw that someone on Reddit reported an issue with Dell version that was keeping the PC from properly shutting down/rebooting.
